Braless Bianca Censori puts on a shocking display in see-through outfit while husband Kanye West covers up
Bianca Censori put on a cheeky display in a daring ensemble while stepping out by herself in Los Angeles on Wednesday. The 30-year-old wife of Kanye West stunned as she went braless underneath an ultra tight, black top with the sleeves rolled up teamed with a pair of micro shorts. During the outing, she was spotted walking out to a shiny, black sports car with nothing else but her phone and car keys in hand. This comes after the rapper, who now goes by a new moniker, was denied entry to her native Australia to meet her family after his visa was canceled due to his offensive behavior. The model — who reportedly gets paid 'hundreds of thousands' by West every time she steps out in the stunt outfits that he chooses for her — got into the driver's seat by herself before the disgraced musician later joined her, ducking his head as he got into the car. Her bold outfit albeit cheeky was relatively conservative compared to some of her recent looks, such as when she posed in a see-through slip in a raunchy, nearly nude photoshoot with her husband. For her outing with him after returning in southern California, Censori sported knee-high, leather boots with a flip-flop sandal style and a chunky heel. She left her long, jet black hair down with blunt-cut bangs grazing her lashes. Just the day before, the Aussie architect shared another set of jaw-dropping photos from her latest photo shoot with her husband while she has been posting sizzling polaroid images to her Instagram this week. On Tuesday, she gave fans another glimpse at her enviable figure with three more snaps. In one of the photos, which were taken by the rapper, she was pictured on her knees leaning backwards while wearing a sheer tube top and pulling down her stockings with one hand. Another one of the retro style snaps featured her seemingly naked from the side, wearing high heels, with one of her legs extended in the air. A third image showed her in a shaggy blonde wig and straddling the carpet while shooting a seductive glance at the camera with a hand placed in her mouth. 'Shot by @ye,' she captioned all three of the images. The day before, she sent pulses racing while posing braless in a plunging white bodysuit that highlighted her ample cleavage. The brunette beauty — who recently shocked onlookers as she stepped out in candy lingerie — rocked a blonde wig for the occasion, along with white stockings and light pink heels. A day prior, she shared similar images, wearing a strapless see-through nightie draped over a set of white lingerie. During the outing, she was spotted walking out to a shiny, black sports car with nothing else but her phone and car keys in hand Ever since they secretly tied the knot in 2022, Censori has consistently shocked fans with the barely-there ensembles her husband styles for her. It comes amid recent reports that West pays Censori to wear some of her head-turning looks. It is claimed that West chooses her daring looks to not only aid in keeping his 'edgy persona' but to also show that his wife is 'the sexiest woman alive', according to a source who spoke with The U.S. Sun. The source stated that while some of the outfits she wears in public 'aren't to her taste' — she has since learned how to make it an 'advantage.' 'Bianca has figured out how to turn all this into her advantage. A lot of the outfits aren't to her taste. But she tells him she will wear them — if she's paid.' The Heartless rapper had allegedly offered his wife a salary wage to don head-turning ensembles, but she turned that down, and instead requested that she be paid based on each look. The source added that they believe Censori has made around $3 million due to the deal and said, 'She's essentially monetizing her image.' One outfit that she reportedly was paid $120k to wear was the naked dress ensemble at the 2025 Grammy Awards back in February. The latest post comes four days after it emerged West's visa to her native Australia has been canceled. Ever since they secretly tied the knot in 2022, Censori has consistently shocked fans with the barely-there ensembles her husband styles for her. It comes amid recent reports that West pays Censori to wear some of her head-turning looks; pictured February in Los Angeles Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke has revealed that West is being denied entry to the country over his antisemitic song praising Adolf Hitler. The track, titled Heil Hitler, was dropped by the singer on May 8 and was deemed to be 'promoting Nazism'. As a result, officials revised West's 'lower-level' visa and came to the decision that it would be revoked. 'He's been coming to Australia for a long time. He's got family here and he's made a lot of offensive comments that my officials looked at again,' Burke told the ABC. 'Once he released the Heil Hitler song, he no longer has a valid visa in Australia. 'It wasn't a visa for the purpose of concerts. It was a lower-level and the officials still looked at the law and said, you're going to have a song and promote that sort of Nazism, we don't need that in Australia.' West has flown to Australia in the past, and was most recently believed to be planning a trip Down Under to visit the family of his Australian wife.

Love Island stars SPLIT after two years ... just months after moving in together and gushing they were 'stronger than ever'
Love Island stars Zachariah Noble and Molly Marsh have split up after two years together. The couple first sparked a romance during season 10 of the show in 2023, after Zachariah, 28, caught the stunner's attention while she was initially coupled up with Mitch Taylor. But after a turbulent two years together - including a brief split last year - the couple have ended their relationship. Molly, 23, took to Instagram on Wednesday to confirm the news, writing: 'I just want to confirm the rumours. Myself and Zac have split up and are no longer together. 'We have parted ways as friends and thank you all for your love and support of our relationship over the past 2 years.' A source close to the couple told The Sun: 'Nothing bad has happened between Zac and Molly. They just made a decision to split on a mutual basis. 'The pair have no bad blood between them and will continue to be friends. 'Sometimes relationships work, and sometimes they don't but they want to continue to be friends and cherish the couple of years they have spent together and are both grateful for Love Island bringing them into each other's lives.' The couple previously split in March 2024, but rekindled their romance just a couple of months later during a brand trip Down Under. They appeared smitten and even moved in together last summer, with Molly gushing about their 'great' relationship late last year. She told The Sun: 'We absolutely needed that time apart, we're stronger than ever and after moving in together, things are definitely going in the right direction. 'It's what we needed, it's going really well.' But around half a year later the pair have now gone their separate ways. After the couple first found a connection in the Majorca villa in 2023, Molly was dumped from the island after Zac was picked by bombshell Kady McDermott in a recoupling. However, Molly returned during Casa Amor and an initially frazzled Zachariah managed to win back her affections. The pair, who finished fourth on series 10 together, lasted longer than any other couple from their series. Third placed Tyrique Hyde and Ella Thomas called time on their relationship in 2024, while series winners Sammy Root and Jess Harding called time on their romance just two months after leaving the villa. More recently, Whitney Adebayo and Lochan Nowacki, series 10's runners up, announced they had split just a couple of months ago.

Cindy Crawford shares beauty secrets that make her 'feel confident' as she approaches 60
Cindy Crawford will turn 60 in February, but she looks much younger than her years. And she just spilled the self-care rituals that help her maintain a youthful, timeless glow. The stunning supermodel — whose daughter Kaia Gerber just confirmed her new romance — launched a skincare range called Meaningful Beauty over 20 years ago with French doctor Jean-Louis Sebagh. 'When you feel good about yourself and feel confident, you hold your head a little higher and that's what people really see,' she told People as she noted a key ingredient in the range is Charentais cantaloupe extract. Crawford pointed out that she doesn't stray from Meaningful Beauty's sun-protectant moisturizer, which has anti-aging properties. And now the items are an impressive 30 percent off. She just spilled the self-care rituals that help her maintain a youthful, timeless glow, pointing to her go-to sun-protectant moisturizer, which has anti-aging properties; seen in an ad for Vuori 'It melts into the skin, so it works great under makeup,' she explained of the winning formula. The former Pepsi spokesperson said, 'My goal is for women to be less overwhelmed by skincare. Our systems make it easy to get the best ingredients all in one place.' Crawford and Sebagh's range of skin-enhancing products debuted in 2004, and in 2021 expanded to include haircare items. An Instagram tagline describes the company as Cindy's 'breakthrough secret to younger looking skin and hair.' 'A lot of women don't really start taking care of their skin until they start noticing those signs of aging. I think that was the same for hair for me,' she said to People at the time. The multihyphenate shares Kaia, 23, and son Presley, 26, with husband Rande Gerber. She noted, 'After I had my kids I lost hair in — [as] my one hairdresser friend calls it — the "parking lot,"' she shared in reference to her part. 'You kind of think it's going to come back and you wait for it to come back — but it didn't,' she lamented. The entrepreneur was inspired to create a solution for her hair issues when she noticed her daughter Kaia's youthful mane. 'It made me realize, wow! That was the impetus,' she recalled. Cindy marked her 27th wedding anniversary with husband Rande in May. She used social media to highlight the milestone, sharing a present day photo on the beach and one from many years ago. 'Happy anniversary @randegerber. 27 years with this incredible man! I feel blessed to have you by my side for all the ups and downs life brings. 'I am grateful for your strength and protectiveness for me and @presleygerber and @kaiagerber. Hopefully, we're just getting started! I love you ❤️,' she wrote.
